Summary:
This will study lakes and tanks, identify ‘disappeared lakes’, and suggest measures for rejuvenating lakes scientifically. The court said none of the authorities are sure about the number of lakes, and there is absolutely no account for disappeared lakes. NEERI can also take the assistance of an expert agency to find out about disappeared lakes, it said. “The concept of the state seems to be that in the name of development, lakes can be destroyed. After the study by NEERI, the state should come out with steps on damages for destruction of lakes,” the court said..
